“…These stereotypes can still be harmful to rape victims. The acceptance of these stereotypes by the media and general population directly influences policy decisions: Aroustamian (2020) carried out a content analysis of media coverage of sexual violence cases, finding that media representations of rape negatively influenced public opinion, while Fox (2013) discussed the various ways that public opinion can affect policymaking, including media coverage, popular blogs and social media. Thus, if the media and public appear to believe certain stereotypes and see little need for policy targeting the related groups, that is, rape perpetrators, then policy will reflect this in turn.…”

The #MeToo movement has facilitated a growing awareness in the UK of rape stereotypes but there has been little research on how accurately rape is perceived in this region, especially regarding demographics such as ethnicity and age. This study recruited 1000 participants, representative of the UK population, to complete an online survey prompting beliefs about rape perpetrators, rape victims, rape allegations, male rape, and motives for and consequences of rape. After carrying out frequency analyses on agree-incorrect and disagree-incorrect statements, we found that, generally, accuracy was high, although there were higher levels of stereotype acceptance for perpetrator related stereotypes. Further analysis found that in terms of demographic differences, Black and Asian participants and men were significantly more likely to accept stereotypes than other demographic groups. Implications for policy and practice are discussed, including potential for jury education, and educational media campaigns aimed at the demographics most likely to accept stereotypes.

“…Behind all the effects of behavioral changes resulting from these social campaign activities, Nugraha, Sumarwan, and Yulianti (2018) stated that information conveyed through social campaign activities carried out on social media is still possible to get good or bad comments, genuine or fake. So information providers or marketers must provide campaign information suitably and appropriately (Aroustamian, 2018). This is supported by the statement of Närvänen et al (2018), which mentions that previous research on food waste campaigns has only focused on the objective effects of different initiatives and interventions, while fewer studies have examined the content of their messages.…”

The rise of food waste issues has prompted the implementation of several social campaigns, one of which is the #HabiskanMakananmu social campaign. This study aims to identify the characteristics and analyze the effectiveness of social campaign content on #HabiskanMakananmu on Instagram. This research is an exploratory design with a content analysis method. The data collection used a purposive sampling technique of 200 social campaign content on Instagram using the content analysis method. The data was processed by cross-tabulation and descriptive interpretation using Microsoft Excel, IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0, and Voyant web as a qualitative data processing application. The results of content effectiveness show that most of the content is interesting, uses standard language in delivering messages, contains two to three pieces of information, creates a sense of awareness and sympathy for readers, and has the potential to change reader behavior. Therefore, content readers can choose and read content wisely and apply habits that reduce food waste.

“…This thesis relies on textual analysis, which is similar to the methodologies used in other studies analyzing #MeToo movement coverage. For example, some studies have used framing theory and content analysis to focus on how the movement was portrayed in specific time periods or news outlets (Aroustamian, 2020;Baker & Rodrigues, 2020;De Benedictis et al, 2019;Hindes & Fileborn, 2020). Another study used a mix of interviews, content analysis, textual analysis and discourse analysis to examine three specific case studies of how women used digital technology to speak against rape culture: Hollaback!…”

“…Other research focuses on news media coverage of the #MeToo movement. These studies often use framing theory and content analysis to focus on how the movement was portrayed in specific time periods or news outlets (Aroustamian, 2020;Baker & Rodrigues, 2020;De Benedictis, 2019;Hindes & Fileborn, 2020). Less common research approaches include qualitative analysis of individuals' responses to the movement (Williamson et al, 2020) and how the #MeToo movement influenced the topics covered in men's magazines (Bell, 2018).…”

“…In other words, media coverage and news framing must escape the societal expectations surrounding gender and sexual violence (victim blaming and the like) in order to actually cover it in ways that do not merely reinforce the preexisting problems. Along this vein, framing theory was applied to the newspaper coverage of Brock Turner, Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein from 2014 to 2018 to examine the description and framing of their cases within news articles (Aroustamian, 2020). In each case, thematic framing, or framing that centered on specific topics and general ideas, was the most popular.…”

A textual analysis of feminist journalism coverage of the #MeToo movevment in Ms. and Jezebel

Since October 2017, many people have shared their experiences as sexual assault survivors on social media using #MeToo, and the #MeToo movement has been covered extensively by media outlets. The purpose of this qualitative study is to use textual analysis to examine the coverage of the #MeToo movement in two feminist journalism publications Ms. and Jezebel in order to explore how that coverage is intersectional in its depictions of the movement and the thematic narratives that it promotes about sexual assault survivors and perpetrators. The results of the study indicate that both outlets' coverage of the movement and narratives about survivors and perpetrators were, at times, very intersectional in how attention was given to expanding the movement well beyond Hollywood and challenging the broader systems and societal beliefs that perpetuate the prevalence of sexual violence. However, by detailing how the coverage was distributed across the first four years of the movement, this study reveals that there were gaps in both outlets' coverage where the reporting did not critically evaluate #MeToo regarding who was involved in the movement, what the movement has accomplished and how it needs to continue to grow in order to bring about lasting change. This research informs scholarly understanding about feminist journalism's depiction of the movement and the feminist and intersectional values included or omitted by this coverage.
